Spoke with my son and says there is a lot of homework already- didn't get through to midnight last night. Said that some of the kids didn't finish. He seems to be concerned if it is this tough already will he be able to finish the course. I advised him not to wait to the last minute to get things done and spend as much time as he needs to get assignments completed. Most of all ask questions if he doesn't undersatnd and ask for help when needed.done. Pleased to see he had matured to the point when he would stay to midnight to get everything done that was required. He also mentioned that he has PT everyday. Is that all the sections or just his?

my sons section PT's everyday I believe. Maybe not though, cause I texted him at 5pm just to see how things were going, and he stated he was at the Gym and would call in a bit, then texted me back and said he was running alittle behind so was heading to chow then to do homework. Said he would call If he got done early enough, he knows Im always early to bed! If not he said he will be done early tomorrow so would call.
He is still managing his time well enough to hit the Gym! haha.........but then again that is his outlet for stress!

My son also said so far, so good! He is on Vol. study and still has plenty of spare time. He did tell me that he heard that it gets harder during the second half. However, I remember someone else saying that it gets easier. I bet it depends on what areas of material are your strong and weak points. So that might be bad news for those of us whose sailors are doing good now and good news to those who are struggling. Better yet, lets hope they have no weak points! (at least academically)

Colin has Vol hours also, which is allowing him to keep his Gym time, which in turn allows him to relieve stress!! LOL.
4 weeks in Ladies............belive his 1st test is tomorrow.

Does anyone know if all the sections are being taught the same sections at the same time? My son says he is not alllowed to tell me. He didn't mention a test when I spoke with him on Monday but then again he probably wouldn't tell me unless I asked.

I wonder too if they all do the same thing at the same time. Of course when I ask questions I get the "that's classified" which is really, he doesn't want to answer. I talked to my son last night and he didn't mention a test, but he was in a good mood and not stressed.

got a text from son last nite @ 10:30...did very well on first test......yay! now for the math and physics phase! Hoping all ur sailors did well!

My son also did very well, He scored highest for his section but not for the whole class. That tells me that at least some of the sections are taking the same test.
